Accomplishments, novelties, anniversaries, and tears
Today I constructed a patch cable and a crossover cable. RJ45. Much fun had by all. The first end took an hour. The second one took twenty minutes. Third, five minutes, after much cussing at the alleged "stripper" function of the crimper. Fourth, two minutes. Testing took somewhat longer, given that the probes on the first meter consulted were not sharp enough to properly contact the teeny wires.
(I differentiate "cussing" and "cursing". "Cussing" involves foul language. "Cursing" is a formal malediction.)
Darkside has new glasses, small, almost round, silver. They add a quasi-hippie touch to his look, despite the Scooby-Doo shirt. The sunglass attachments that fit overtop just plain look damn cool (and make him look like he's hiding redeye, thanks to the hair and scruffy face).
Today I have had a livejournal for one full year. Go me!
It is unlikely that Darkside and I will see Episode II together. I was not entirely pleased with the concept, but managed to avoid making a childish scene. Instead, I turned my back on him and sulked for a few minutes before I was together enough to keep the conversation going. I swear I'm getting better at this.
...Given me and movies, I typically don't go alone. In fact, only if stood up and I don't have a ride do I go alone. Darkside doesn't usually go to the movies with anybody else. His allowing me to accompany him to LotR was, in retrospect, absolutely amazing.

I like the distinction. I shall remember it. Have you met Aidan Logan? She's good at cursing..."Half-breed offspring of a scorpion and a two-penny whore, for how else could you sting as you screwed yourself?" She happened to be cursing a computer at the time, which makes the resulting, "May you be blasted to the component sands from which you came!" and, "The Library of Alexandria existed in vain if such as you are the end result!" make much more sense. :)

I think I like those very, very much. I have not had the honor, no.
Re:
Rhiannon's Eyrie
It's Highlander fanfic, Aidan's immortal, but even if you don't like Highlander, Rhiannon's writing makes it worthwhile. (Oh, and I believe Aidan was speaking in Arabic at the time she was cursing the computer, but Rhiannon was nice enough to give it to us in English translation instead. :) Oh, the universe is a Xover with Forever Knight, too.

Silmarian quite frequently goes to movies alone. He just likes it.
Happily for me, I now have enough different movie-buddies that I don't usually have to go alone.

If I wanted to see it by myself, I'd wait for it to come out on video.
